These classes are dedicated to fine-tooth combing the 8 ICF Core Comps through facilitated discussion, sharing of best practices, and round robin coaching with direct feedback from your mentor.

The goal is to introduce the student to the distinctions between how these comps look and feel at the PCC level vs. the MCC level.

This course component creates a tremendous amount of clarity and gives students a clear and confident path toward passing their exam and assessment.

The FUNDAMENTAL components satisfy the 7 hours of group mentor coaching required for your MCC application

This component builds upon the FUNDAMENTALS as students further explore each of the competencies in depth. This is done in a variety of ways including:

-Two-hour practice clinics with drills and practice exercises in small breakouts

-Educational sessions and discussions around the meaning and importance of the competency

-Outside reading and journaling

-Listening to and reviewing MCC approved recordings

This component is where the rubber hits the road through live peer coaching sessions in which students take the role of Coach, Coachee and Observer in full length coaching sessions.

Students will receive extensive feedback from Coachee, Observer and Mentor Coach.

One of the greatest factors in moving from PCC to MCC coaching is the internal shift the coach must make to show up authentically, manage judgments, tap into intuition, and be comfortable with silence and a state of unknowing.

This class component gives students time to identify and discuss obstacles that may impede their progress while also improving their ability to bring their Unique Coach Self to every MCC session.

Journaling prompts and outside reading support the student in their personal self-development.

Each student is required to spend three hours with a mentor coach outside of class. Delivered in two 90-minute Zoom calls, this component allows time to review the student´s recorded coaching sessions to identify learning opportunities and/or the potential for submission of recording with their MCC application.

These two sessions are to be scheduled any time after WEEK 10 and students must come prepared with a minimum of TWO recorded coaching sessions to be reviewed over the three hours.

The INDIVIDUAL MENTOR COACHING components satisfy the 3 hours of 1:1 mentor coaching required for your MCC application.

This course component helps students take a broader view of how the knowledge they are gleaning can support them, their clients, and their practice beyond the actual coaching session.

Different modalities will be identified. Goals and plans will be set, and additional career opportunities will be explored.

Full attendance is a requirement of the ICF. In order to make space for emergency absences, students may miss a maximum 3 of the 22 live classes. However, in order to earn the credit for any missed classes and fulfill the ICF’s requirement, students must attend an equal number of scheduled make-up classes offered in Week 9, 15 and/or 22.

The content of these 90-minute classes will be based on the needs of the students in attendance.

All materials, syllabus and interaction with cohort and mentor coaches will be accessed on the easy-to-use online classroom.

Students will have direct access to tools, recordings and course materials and there is no additional text or manual to purchase. All materials and resources are hosted in the Online Classroom and delivered in English.

Plus, this is the hub and lifeline of the course as students will communicate via a message board where they can post questions, feedback, ideas and comments on each week of the syllabus.
